A Confederacy of Dunces: Part II

Who knew? That a Supreme Court Chief Justice and bar associations (yep lawyers) would turn out to be the gravest threat yet to Musharraf's power. Combine that with Aziz talking about inflicting emergency and the government backing down at every volley of the Lal Masjid crowd and the picture looks pretty grim. It would be interesting to see how Musharraf gets out of this one. It will have to be something to make Machiavelli proud. Or something really stupid by the Chief Justice.

Let's see if Musharraf can stay on track to beat Zia's record of eleven year rule. I wonder if there are any bookmakers out there offering the odds.
